Question
I am trying to identify the song played in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyHYnuCe5go The clip is recorded during actual gameplay so it includes sound effects throughout (it is not my video), and the music starts at :20. It's a very short clip so I don't know if it belongs to a larger classical piece outside the game.

The only things I can tell you: It's from the game Little King's Story which uses mostly public domain classical music for its soundtrack.  The songs are supposed to be well-known, or at least from well-known composers. A soundtrack has not been released, and there is no composer information listed in the credits or anywhere online that I can find. The music is redone specifically for the game, so it may not be exactly like the original. I hope you can help, and thanks for your time!

Answer
Hello, K,

I'm thinking it's the Adagio by Tomaso Albinoni. I tried to verify it on Amazon.com, but their music system is down right now. I'll check again later. But I'm 99% positive that's what it is.

You may be aware that they do have excerpts from some of their CD's online. You can check it yourself as well. This one is available for MP3, so if you feel like spending $1.99 or whatever, you can probably get a listen that way.

PS You're welcome. I'm not always that quick, but it so happens this is a piece I'm almost intimate with. I have string players in my family, and on at least one occasion, I actually listened to this piece in concert with organ and strings as a result.
